anyone own an enduro or enduro evo?

What do you think? Weights and such Pros cons?

I've got a 2010 Enduro Comp. Haven't had it on the scale, but I would guess ~32 lbs for a large. I love the bike; it climbs and descends very well. It has a longish top-tube that I find comfortable and allows me to run a shorter stem. The relatively slack head angle means that you need to concentrate to keep it from wandering on the climbs, but I've found that getting on the nose of the saddle and using a little body english allows me to grind up even the steep stuff. The bike also climbs efficiently without use of the propedal, especially if you're on something bumpier than a fireroad. Coming down, the bike is stable and nimble. I doubt I'm much slower on the Enduro than my old dh bike, and I very rarely feel like I need "more bike" (keep in mind I haven't done any resort riding). The Comp was spec'd with a Lyrik R that could use more lsc, but mission control dampers (or the Enduro Expert) are an easy fix.

Coles notes: I [HTML_REMOVED]3 my Enduro.

The EVO is amazing. I seriously considered buying one this year.

I have an Anthem right now but am looking for something with a little more travel. It seems like an almost freeride bike but light.
It could handle a day in the park with ease lol

I am unsure to the pedalling ability between the evo and the comp. The coil air debate I presume. Both bikes are nice. The Slayer I was looking at seemed too XC in the cockpit.

I've got an enduro expert that I turned into something similar to the evo. I found a way to mount a coil on the rear and that added a little weight, but out of the box a size large was just over 32lbs. I've made it a little more fr oriented so it ways 34lbs now. I've ridden it at WBP and had no problem riding the gnarly trails. Pretty hard to beat if your only going to have one bike.

My Expert is 30.5lbs.

If you want a 50/50 climb/descend compromise I would stick with the standard Enduro.

The expert it is
thx

Anybody have any experience with the E160 specialized forks? Looking at a 2010 enduro with the pro build and it comes spec'd with this fork. Want to use the bike for everything, with descending being the priority.

not a good fork..at all

feel sub-standard compared to current RS and Fox 35mm/36mm forks

best trick?

get the basic 2010 Enduro and upgrade the basic Lyric with a Mission Control damper = awesome

I have a 2011 Enduro Comp to which I added a RC2DH cart to the Lyric R. I love the bike. Mines a medium and weighs about 30lbs. I find it climbs WAAAAAY better than my Heckler with a 160mm fork, and the suspension works when you apply the brakes!!

I picked up a 2011 Enduro Expert back in December, and have certainly enjoyed it. I went from a Norco Fluid to the Enduro. Less pedal bob then the fluid, and so much better on the down of course.

I did upgrade the fork internals on the standard Float R to the travel adjust Talas internals (120-160). It does drop the BB and tilt the seat forward a bit, however on climbs up Fromme or Old Buck, it's nice.

I also went straight to the Reverb instead of the stock command post.

Sorry- no scale shots. Never weighed it. likely 32ish.

i just a bought a 2009 expert. its pretty awesome. climbs excellently particulary with the talas on the front dropped down. almost feels like two completely diff bikes on the ascent and the descent. the only thing i would like is a 36 rather than 32 on the front, and maybe a chain guide/bash guard. i think they are both standard on the 2011…

Im thinking of downsizing from a DH bike to a 2011 Enduro EVO to get more Fromme type riding in but am wondering how well it would handle on the steeper rougher trails like sexgirl/boy and shuttle days, anyone got experience on the Shore with one of these??
